Wow come tomorrow TENS of people will be able to play the beta! BETA HYPE ! ;). Still the changes look interesting can't wait to see it on streams.

288 per 24 hours, plus the eventual shrinkage of the time between selections, mini-events to earn keys, giveaways, etc.

2016 players at the end of the first week just off the timer alone.

Fairly solid.

I fear this will take all accounts. Not just active ones so, 2000 is nothing.

Everyone will be playing self found, GL trying to find a decent trade first two weeks.

dont worry guys, they will more than likely be buffing the damage of all 'shotgun' spells to keep them as viable now as they were before, theyre not going to rip 50% of the spells in the book and just say "whatever, dont care".

They say on front page skills will receive balance changes as a result of shotgun changes. I expect they'll get buffed, but still won't be anywhere near what they're now.

Overall, I don't think players on temp leagues should be too worried. Some of the skills were OP, GGG will nerf them, but it shouldnt take players more than 1 day to find new unbalanced skills and mechanics in the new patch once it goes live. So, no reason to worry - there will be new Incinerate and new proliferation in 2.0, we just don't know what it is... yet.

The new projectil/arrow mechanic effect the Chain support gem?

theres no new arrow mechanic, spells projectiles have been changed to work the way arrows have always worked, so the way chain worked with arrows before is the same. (from what we can tell)

Ondars was not nerfed if you think about it. If projectiles can no longer shotgun effect you..then it would really be broken to still be able to have 95% projectile dodge against enemies..especially atziri and her spear attack..

it was nerfed, extremely hard. It was 100% more chance to evade projectiles, now its 40% more with a 20% less to melee. Projectile attacks could never shotgun before, they are just changing spells to work the way attacks have always worked, ondars is an increase to evasion, you cant evade spells so the change to spells doesnt have any effect on evasion.

Correct me if I'm wrong but arrows used to shotgun until Tornado shot was released. For people wondering, A monster cannot be hit by more than one projectile originating from a given attack. But it will be affected by the resultant AoE generated afterwards. What this means is that Tornado shot etc will remain the same while Ethereal Knives, Multi-projectile spells will have their damage output greatly mitigated.

Yes ondar's guile allowed my ranger to evade every projectile attacks from later difficulties. Now it's a little more complicated. Unless they change how phase acrobatics works, dodging spells will stay the same.

niccce!

i'm actually even more hyped about the rebalancing and mechanical changes then act 4 itself ^_^


+ reep raizQT budget incinerate atziri killer

Want.plz

I read the change of projectiles to mean that
if several monsters are hit by projectiles with aoe then
the projectiles aoe can hit several monsters at once..

but then if there is only 1 target is the big change,
since only 1 could hit the target it couldn't take the aoe from
others since they do not hit.

could be wrong, just how I read it.

EK doesn't shotgun.

HYYYYYYYYPE!... Sooo is it to late to become a big streamer within 17 hours? so i can get a BETA KEY! hahaha :) good luck guys :)

I'm confused, so after the 1months end, there is nothing new until the next realease? I know that's a decent amount to ask for. But for someone who usually play the 3month leagues, and don't play Hardcore or Softcore at all. It would certainly suck to wait for "x" amount of time, before being able to play again. Am I misinformed, could anyone share some light on this?
